   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Pat Hannan told me also about a man named Bill Griffaun who used to fish for salmon in the Morning Star river and in Garrynalina. The police and water bailiffs were always after him and one day he lay under the water hiding for three hours until they were tired of searching for him. Colonel Massey - a landlord near Galbally - used to buy the fish and when Griffaun was caught and fined by Stipendiary the Colonel used to pay the fine.

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   John Harty of Ballyfruta about a mile from the village was a poet and also a great mower. One day when mowing hay for a neighbour called Mungo Dalton, Dalton was telling him to cut close to the ground. It was an outside meadow that is one he had taken for the crop from some other farmer - John answered
   Lay down your scythe, John Harty,
   Put leather to your tree,
   Cut low for Mungo Dalton,
   and he'll set you on a spree.
   In another piece of poetry John described his own son Roger - A kind deformed boy- thus :-
   I have a son one only one
   He's both humpy short and small
   He's not the makings of a man
   Nor never will at all.
